Margaret (Peggy) Huska/Hopkinson began her remarkable voyage on July 18th, 1936 in Toronto, Ontario.
Raised by her grandparents for most of her life, Peggy quickly learned how to please others at a young age and always show a great deal of love and respect for others.
Upbeat and extremely humorous as well as intelligent and caring , Peggy’s path to becoming a nurse was a given.
Starting a career at Oshawa General , Peggy soon became a well loved nurse at Canada Packers, followed by Hill Refrigeration, Edgar and lastly At the Huronia Regional Centre in Orillia .
Peggy was also truly lucky in love. Married first to Harry for 25 years, and followed by Barry for another 25 years of kindness, romance and adventure.
She was a family woman but still returned to school in her 60’s for her degree in Gerontology and accomplished this with Honours, all while still working, babysitting her grandchildren most weekends, singing and playing piano for her church and for The Eastern Star in Innisfil and always enjoying her many travels with Barry across the States, happily hitting as many garage sales as possible along the way.
Her laughter and genuine love for life will be held in the hearts of her son, Harris (Penny)and their sons Neil and Danny forever as well as her closest nephews, Jimmy and Stephen, 4 cherished brothers, Frank, John, Jimmy , and Fred, other children, in-laws, grandchildren, great grandchildren, many other nieces and nephews and her countless and ever grateful  friends.
The world just became a little less bright and exciting without Peggy in it but her spark and love will remain lit in all of us, and that makes her existence, truly a blessing .
